Title
108th Avenue at Crystal Springs Lane Watermain Repair - Approval
History
On August 31, 2010, a watermain break occurred on 108th Avenue at Crystal Springs Lane. Due to the depth of the main (15 feet), Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, was contracted to complete the repair. Because of the potential complexity of the repair under 108th Avenue and to minimize the duration of the water shutdown, a new main line valve was installed during the workday at 10800 Crystal Springs Lane.
With the new valve installed, the leak was isolated with no impact to the residents. Work to repair the leak was postponed until later that night to reduce the impact on traffic. The repair of the leak was completed on September 1, 2010, with 108th Avenue open to traffic by 6:00 a.m. The total cost for this work is $20,673.18. A contract is in place between the Village and Airy’s, Inc. to perform this type of work on an emergency basis.
On October 4, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
